ADC 121 

DLMS Mapping for Disposal Shipment Confirmation to 

DS 945A, Material Release Advice 

1. ORIGINATOR: Supply Process Review Committee, Ellen Hilert, Co-Chair, DLA 

J673, Defense Logistics Management Standards Office (DLMSO), 703-767-0676 (DSN 

427), ellen.hilert@dla.mil

2. FUNCTIONAL AREA: Supply

3. REQUESTED CHANGE: 

 a. Title: DLMS Mapping for Disposal Shipment Confirmation to DS 945A, 

Material Release Advice (ASZ transaction mapping) 

 b. Description of Change: This change modifies the DS 945A, Material Release 

Advice, to reflect appropriate mapping for the Disposal Shipment Confirmation 

transaction (MILSTRIP DI Code ASZ). When this change is published, additional 

administrative updates will also be reflected to the DS and Federal IC to incorporate 

standard DLMS notes for code usage (e.g., “For DLMS use, only the following codes are 

authorized.”). 

c. Procedures: Revise DS 945A, Material Release Advice, as indicated to 

assigning a beginning segment code to specifically identify the disposal shipment 

confirmation. The DAAS maps and the DLMS Cross-Reference tables must be adjusted 

accordingly.

Release Advice (ASZ transaction mapping) 

Administrative 

update 

No update 

required 

2 1/W0611/020 Add the following qualifier and DLMS note:

AZ Disposal Shipment Advice 

DLMS Note: The shipping activity may use to 

provide confirmation of a disposal shipment to the 

DRMS. (This corresponds to the DLSS Document 

Identifier ASZ.) 

An ANSI data maintenance action will be taken to 

properly align the code AZ with the correct name, 

“Disposal Shipment Confirmation,” for use in a future 

version/release. 

Revise DLMS note for existing code NQ: 

NQ Disposal Shipment Confirmation 

DLMS Note: Use to provide supply status to the ICP

on a disposal release order (This corresponds to DLSS 

Document Identifier AEJ.) . 

An ANSI data maintenance action will be taken to 

properly align the code NQ with the correct name, 

“Disposal Shipment Advice,” for use in a future 

version/release. 

The 945A 

IC/Supplement must 

be fixed to assign a 

beginning segment 

code for use in 

mapping the 

MILSTRIP DI Code 

ASZ to DLMS. 

The note for the 

beginning segment 

code NQ is clarified. 

Both beginning 

segment codes are 

annotated to indicate 

that the ANSI 

standard names 

associated with the 

codes are misaligned 

and will be corrected 

through an ANSI data 

maintenance action. 

Federal IC 

update required 

 Alternatives: None identified.

4. REASON FOR CHANGE: This change supports DLMS implementation and 

desired functionality. The addition of a beginning segment code is required for 

identification of the transaction used for disposal shipment confirmation. This 

transaction type was inadvertently removed from the 945A. The beginning segment 

codes for the AEJ and ASZ were confused resulting in a name switch. This will be 

corrected through an ANSI change. The preference is to associate code AZ with the ASZ 

because of the recognizable association. The similar names are incorrectly assigned 

which is confusing; therefore the specific DLSS transaction identification is included in 

the DLMS note. 

5. ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES: 

a. Advantages: Supports DLMS implementation and clarifies DLSS mapping.
b. Disadvantages: None identified. 

6. IMPACT: 

 Publications. Federal Implementation Conventions 945A and corresponding DoD 

4000.25-M DLMS Supplement. The DS revision requires prior change to the Federal 

Implementation Convention (IC).
